Well, I could always just pick one thing from each place that's a must try and bring those over as takeout. And leftovers are always great.
[ He's already taking note of what he'd possibly get for this that won't be too weird for Steve. Steamed dumplings from that Chinese place, maybe beef teriyaki for Japanese?
But he perks up at the invitation. ]
I can do that. Anything in particular you want to try out and learn?
It's a Southern thing, and a sweet-savory kind of combo.
If you're free now, I can pick up a few things from the grocery and come on over to show you how to make it. I'll even bring my waffle iron with me, unless you happen to have one over there somehow.
[ He blinks, a little confused by that before realization dawns on his face. Gently: ]
That's okay. We can always just keep some for him to try out when he gets back. And that's no dealbreaker for me. I mean, you and me are buddies, too, right?
[Are we? He almost asks, even opens his mouth to say it. His jaw clicks shut after a moment. Steve's spent most of his life with only one friend to his name, he knows damn well he's not... good at friendship, but. He likes Sam, he really does. He can't say that about a lot of other people.
So instead he just ducks his head in a bit of a nod.]
I-- yeah. Guess we are. I'll... see you in a while, then?
[ Don't think he didn't notice that hesitation, Steve. Sam does have to wonder what exactly he was about to say, but the moment passes. Nodding back, he grins. ]
I'll be over in about 20 minutes, half an hour tops. See you soon!
[ And when the message is over, he gets to work raiding his kitchen for stuff he can bring over. ]

[A beat.]
Bucky's not here-- in case that's. A dealbreaker or something.
[He still thinks of Sam as being Bucky's Pal specifically, so. You know.]
